Mine is my daily driver (~43 miles round trip, all in town), tows the Jeep to the trails on the weekends, hauls the camper on vacation. I needed something with the power to haul the camper and tow the Jeep at the same time and get more than single digit MPG while doing it...averaged 12.6 last time I had everything loaded.

I haven't put enough miles on mine to tow yet, but it's DD, and will soon tow a 20' enclosed box trailer for game machines (source of GREAT income). Plus the box trailer is big enough to fit a regular sized car (fit my evo just fine).

My CTD is my daily driver/grocery getter/trash hauler and my baby(there's no way in hell I let any one barrow it, let alone drive it), I also tow motorcyles and/or project vehicles; I'll hot rod it around town every once in a while.

I use it for hauling strongman gear to competitions, we use it for strongman comps...pulling it.
I also use it for product evaluation and magazine articles as well as a daily driver and this summer I think I will be using it to gather up some old 1 and 2 ton ****** trucks and old tractors.
I have a trailer that has 2 10K axles and duals as well as one tag trailer with 2 7K axles...I have pulled both loaded down with strongman gear.
My former trucks did similar and I had 3 running high miles doing hot shot between the USA and Canada with 3 car haulers. Also hauled several loads of Harleys south for a few years.

I use mine for back and forth to work and just general driving. I bought it to pull my travel trailer and now I am a ctd nut! I used to hate to even change the oil on a gasser but now I have some project planned on mine every week-end. And I don't mean to be bragging but you will have to look hard to find a better looking first gen!!

Mine carries me to work and back every day and pulls the under taker (equipment trailer used to haul junk cars) to the crusher 4 or 5 times per week. Allows me to be a card carrying member of the carbon replacement society. Averaging 40,000 km per year.

Bought mine for daily driver and to haul my dirt bike around, and pull a camper when I get one, this spring maybe. BoilerRat, this is a good lookin truck. One just like that but white used to drive me nuts when I was out in California. Same wheels and tires, everything.

I'm on the wastefull side. In heated shop most of the time collecting dust, pull wifes tt around the country. Make the neighbors mad. Hot rod on the weekends. Dream, money catcher. When I retire in 20 + years be buried in it. What a classic coffin it will be.
